Tracey Emin: My Bed

Tracey Emin, My Bed, 1998, Mattress, linens, pillows, objects, 79 x 211 x 234 cm

Tracy Emin created, 'My Bed,' in 1998 and it was exhibited in the Tate in 1998 as one of the shortlisted works for the Turner Prize. It is a view of her bed when she was in a state of suicidal depression. The objects and mess she has around her bed gives the audience a clear insight into her life. Emin's work inspired my print project as it featured the accumulation of rubbish which is then dispersed in the artwork.
